The trees that Bruce planted for us are dying. The office will not return phone calls nor will they acknowledge emails! The two year warranty is non existent.

Hired them to install a patio in our backyard. Working with them from the design layout through construction was great. We had a landscape plan which called out a patio design. Bruce gave us a quote for that design and some additional design concepts. The original quote was outside our budget and they worked with us to design something that worked for us and our budget. At no point did we feel pressured or that they tried to sell us something we didn’t need. Before construction they were in contact with us to pick out our stone and made suggestions on what might work best for us. They were accurate on timing and construction went smoothly. The foreman for our project was fantastic. He met with us daily and made adjustments to the design on the fly based on our feedback. Everyone on the crew was friendly and helpful walking us through the construction process. After the project was complete Bruce (owner?) reached out to us personally to get our feedback and to inspect the work afterwards. We will definitely be reaching out to them again for our fire pit.

I love the final result. The crew arrived on time and worked till job was complete. The supervisors were great, and responsive to my questions. I will use LandStyle Design in the future.

Bruce and Margaret came out and asked us a bunch of questions about our goals for the front, made some suggestions and then came back a week or so later to present the design.   We opted not to have them do all of the work, as we did it ourselves.  They knew in advance was the likely outcome for them, which is why they charge for the design.  We did most of the plantings suggested, but did leave out a boulder retaining wall that was simply too expensive and labor intensive for us to take on.  I would recommend their design services.  As I did not use them for installation, I cannot comment on that end of it.  $250.00 well spent.

We had several estimates with requests to show us their design recommendations. Landstyle Design and Construction

took a little longer however, we felt their design was by far the best and went way beyond what the others offered for the same approximate price. Where others offered only front yard features Landstyle was able to complete the front and back for a similar price.



Their crew arrived when they said and was one of the hardest working crews we have seen. They were respectful and completed the project including cleanup in about a weeks’ time. In addition they offered a two year warranty on their shrubs and flowers. We had a few of the shrubs and flowers that did not come back this year and contacted them. It took several weeks for them to respond because it was their busiest time of the year however, they sent a crew out and replaced all of the shrubs that had failed.



We are completely happy with their job from the beginning through completion and recommend them highly.

The project went well from beginning to end. It was a challenge for them taking out the pool, we've had water problems with a spring running underneath the pool, but they were able to get it done with the water continuing to fill in as they worked. The crew we had working on our project was fantastic! A great group of guys!! All of our neighbors commented on how clean the crew kept our cul-de-sac every day when they finished. Our deck man was great also. He always would explain what and why he was doing certain things and would always ask questions if he wasn't sure how we had planned to do something. The whole Landstyle Design team was easy and VERY pleasant to work with. The only negative thing would be some miscommunication or some lack of communication between different forman, but nothing that caused issues. Things were always taken care of. If we had questions or concerns, the response time was quick. We would highly recommend Landstyle Design and Construction.

I did have something done with him. I was checking because I had something done before trying Angie's List, and if I would have had to first, then I wouldn't have hired that him. He doesn't come back. He hired a 20 year old that doesn't follow directions. He won't return my phone calls. He's got a 5 year warranty on his pavers and he is not coming out to fix the problem. I realize he's probably busy but he won't even call me back. We had him flip a fire pit and a paver patio on our back wall with boulder walls. We got rock all over on our house and lands can un-plan them, top-scape and hard-scape. That was about $10000. The fire pit that they built up awalk our retaining a boulder wall was like two or three courses of rocks and then they made the fire pit out the back of our walk-out pavement. It's sinking and the frames that they put the pavers in, cracked. It's sinking and falling away. So, it's got a slope and the pavers are separating in 2 courses, the circular thing. It's hard to describe and it's frustrating. It was beautiful and looks great when it was done. The other thing was, we stick all of our sprinkler heads, and we asked them not to go over them but to go around them, but every one of them covered 3 of them and broke 1 off. They were slow to see the little pink flags on wires tapped up about 2 feet. They did not listen at all and so we held back money from them because we'd like to know if we had to hire another to fix the sprinkler heads if they had cut it off. So, we hired somebody else to fix it for $500 back because they wouldn't come out to fix it. He's got negative grade on Angie's List and we should've known before. It looks beautiful but it's not holding up. The guy that I didn't go in with Better Yards and Gardens, which I had looked up online because of their rating, told me that he could fix it for me. It's another deal, and I said I want to get it done for free if I can with him that wrecked it because I paid for it. The 5 year warranty, I assume is billed into the price. He would've thought that he came out and fixed it, but surly me. I think I am going to wait for him until the end of the summer to fix it because it's too hot to be up there right now and use it. I do want to resolve it before September. So, I am going to give him a timeline assuming that he is busy because of the heat and the rain. I am going to cut him some slack but I have contacted him at the beginning of June. I am trying to be fair, understanding and not fully ftigch.

I think the quality of the design is good. They always respond but it is about a "B." They are very friendly but not always as experienced as one might like. They are always willing to do things. I have been pleased with them.

When we first talked to the contractor we were assured that he had experienced long term employees who would be doing the work. The first week after the work on the deck was started in late October or early November of 2007, one of the two employees, who was not a long term employee, was late several mornings and then failed to show up at all. Near the end of the project a number of inexperienced employees were on the job doing very little work. It appeared that the objective was to throw a number of low cost employees into the landscaping project in order to finish before the end of the work season and to get paid before we left town for Thanksgiving. The focus did not appear to be on quality. There was inadequate supervision of the work on the projects. The owner of the contracting firm, who we dealt with initially, was generally absent and unavailable during the time the work was performed and there was very little consultation during the project. He has also been unavailable and unresponsive after payment was made. There are a number of problems that have not been corrected.
Response from Landstyle Design and Construction
"The member purchased an existing home that had major problems. They contacted Landstyle Design & Construction (LDC). LDC met with them in September of 2007 to inspect the site and discuss ideas. After the initial meeting, LDC prepared a deck & landscape design with "specifications" & recommendations along with an estimate for the work. They reviewed our proposal & after visiting previous LDC project sites, they elected to proceed with the project. LDC has been in business for 20 years. We have highly experience supervisors & installers on our landscape & carpentry crews. These people were on the member's site everyday. I myself as the owner of LDC was on site at least 2-3 times per week. We do however hire day laborers when necessary. Day laborers perform menial tasks (ie. shoveling, wheelbarrow, etc.) that do not require technical skills. Their deck project was constructed with top quality materials and skilled carpenters. LDC acquired a building permit from the city of Minnetonka for this project. All inspections including the final were approved by the city. With the exception of three items; which will be taken care of on or before 9/30, their landscape project is complete. Bruce Wohlrabe -Owner/President"

We talked with a half-dozen landscaping companies about tearing off our old, rotting two level deck and creating a new deck and patio combination. The first five companies we talked to, presented us with designs that looked very similar to our old, boring deck and wooden retaining wall. Bruce Wohlrabe, from Landstyle, was the only person we talked with who came up with a new and creative design that tied everything together and gave us really usable and attractive backyard. The crew started within about a week and completed the job in three weeks, right on schedule. They were very conscientious, taking care of all details and even relandscaped part of our neighbor's yard where they had to drive some heavy equipment between our two houses. During the construction, we had a couple of the heaviest rain storms the Twin Cities had seen in years, washing away some of the work that had been done. Landstyle immediately repaired or replaced all of the damaged work, at their expense, and kept the job on schedule.

THEY DID A FAIRLY GOOD JOB WITH THE INITIAL JOB OF THE COBBLESTONE PATIO AND SOME OF THE GREENERY. I NOTICED FROM THE INITIAL PLANS THAT ONE OF THE BUSHES WASNT INCLUDED AND IT TOOK FOREVER TO GET THEM TO COME BACK TO INSTALL IT. WHEN THEY DID COME OUT, THEY DIDNT PUT IT IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND IT EVENTUALLY DIED.
